By [[http://noumenongames.com/ Noumenon Games]], Nimbus is a game on the PC that mixes aspects from a variety of games, including [[MarioVSDonkeyKong red, blue, and yellow (and green) color switch puzzles]], [[PortalNetwork color coded portals]], [[TimedMission racing against deadly obstacles at times (and the clock, if you're aiming for the quickest times)]], [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry barrel cannons]], [[WreakingHavok physics]] [[GravityScrew puzzles]], and [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros secret stage exits]], among other things. The objective of each stage is to solve various puzzles as quickly as possible without becoming stranded the ground nor running into a dangerous obstacle. The ship does not propel itself in any way. The player will need to find ways to accelerate to gain/maintain height and speed whilst avoiding (most often lethal) traps or bumping into walls, which will considerably decrease their speed.
